On the Hill, a blog by Brian Coventry, Managing Director of APS in the UK. Favorite quote:
“It is unwise to pay too much, but it is worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money – that is it. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot – It can’t be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.”
– John Ruskin (1819 – 1900)
BC's blog also has a lot of pointers on managing the email flood.

The current “soft” economy, coupled with the natural production slow down most tax and accounting firms experience over the summer, provides a unique opportunity to take a look at firm processes and actually do something about improving them!"

Standing against this, to protect the inegrity and the purpose of charitable non-profits, are the legions of accountants who serve. Part of their services is standard accounting skill — the reconciliations, the audits, the reports and the internal controls. But equally important is the abilitiy to bring to bear the technical knowledge in which accountants have always had a leading role.
